I absolutely LOVE this place. I have never seen anything like this in Arizona, it's exactly what Old Town needed. I love walking in and looking at all of the furniture and decor, everything is so unique and eclectic, it's all so original and different from what everyone else is currently doing. It's really cool that they have butcher paper set up as a suggestion wall and chalkboard in the bathrooms-love those ideas!
I had the breakfast frittata and now I crave it for lunch and dinner! Payton Curry, the chef who makes their food, is a true master at his art. I grew up going to big farmer's markets every week so I appreciate that everything is local and organic (and not to mention delicious)!
Cartel provides their coffee beans and anyone who knows their coffee knows that Cartel roasts the BEST beans in AZ. I saw that someone in a previous review complained about price, but if you know coffee, you know you're getting what you paid for. Plus they have kegged iced coffee!? Didn't even need cream or sugar!
They have a very extensive craft beer menu and serve flights in muffin tins, awesome! The walk up cooler is a great idea too! It's nice that they have a set cocktail menu. You don't see that really anywhere in Arizona, I've only seen it in places like New York and Seattle. They take a little to make but it's so worth the wait considering everything is hand pressed, muddled, and mixed right in front of you.
The staff is extremely friendly, I enjoy going to a new spot where you don't see the normal or typical "Scottsdale" employee. It's a breath of fresh air.
This is such a great place in all aspects. I'm making this the official place I meet my friends for coffee, food, cocktails, and beer spot!
